[27 / 1 / 14]
During his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff was quite blunt in his take on AEW. He said that, apart from the fact that Tony Khan produces matches in front of live fans and not a sound stage, they are pretty much the same as TNA Wrestling.>“AEW has made a commitment to producing shows in front of live audiences, that’s becoming more of a challenge as time goes on. That being said, they’re not producing their show on a sound stage… other than that, they’re just like TNA. Over-hyped, under-deliver, tons of former WWE talent who cycled out of the system and established predominantly in the TNA product of AEW. The only different, to his credit, is that Tony has committed to continuing putting on a show in front of a live crowd."

>>12771759 What?
He's just stating his opinion on AEW, he's not wrong.
Tony should start booking smaller venues so the place looks packed all around and is more loud. But his ego won't let him.

The "tons of ex-WWE talent who cycled out of the system" part is true, and what fucked over TNA. But lets not pretend Eric's biggest success wasn't off the backs of ex-WWE guys who Vince let walk. Hogan, Nash, Hall, Savage etc. That's where the problem lies though. Both TNA and AEW tried to catch that lightening in a bolt that the nWo angle caught.

>>12771824 That's not his opinion at all, he's obviously shilling for WWE so he can grift their retard audience out of their welfare money. If you're too dumb to see this you deserve it by the way.

AEW gets about half the ratings that RAW does. TNA got about a fifth of the ratings that RAW was doing back then. TNA tried to go to live shows and couldn't draw jack shit. Their biggest rating ever was about a third of RAW. Bischoff is just a WWE cuck because Vince bailed him out a couple of times.

>>12771961 >Vince let walk I wouldn't say he let them walk. Turner outbid Vince for these guys. To Vince's credit, he refused to be a money mark and decided to wait Turner out, probably knowing that Bischoff's spending was unsustainable.
